### 1/5 — Обман

*2025-02-09*

Списали деньги просто так без моего согласия

**Developer response:** Мне жаль слышать о вашей проблеме. Это невозможно. Пожалуйста, объясните. Спасибо!

I am sorry to hear your problem. That is impossible. Please explain. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Ужасно

*2022-05-19*

Снимают деньги непонятно за что, подписку я не покупала

**Developer response:** У этого приложения нет подписки. Пожалуйста, объясните. Спасибо.

This app does not have a subscription. Please explain. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Stupid

0 STARS NEVER DOWNLOAD I HATE THIS STUPID AHHHH VERY DUMB NEVER GET WASTE OF MONEY ANYONE WHO GETS THIS WILL HATE IT IT IS FAKED

### 1/5 — Nah

*2021-02-02*

Barely works - dumb. How difficult could it have been to make this sound off more?!? Rarely makes any noise... smh

### 1/5 — 我亲自到福岛测试的

*2020-08-14*

根本不准 我亲自到福岛测试的 我都到双叶町了 距离第一原子发电所就几公里了 剂量一直都没动 全是假的 还花我六元钱

### 1/5 — This is a joke

*2020-05-25*

Why would I want to buy something that doesn’t work for real, I feel taken advantage of.  I don’t want a toy, I want the real thing.piss off

### 1/5 — This does not work

*2019-12-12*

I have tried everything including vigorously shaking my iPad and my iPhone... the only thing that happens is the words somehow change to Russian. Thanks for stealing a dollar from me.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2016-09-25*

Having payed for the app I'm saddened that I can no longer update as my iPhone 5 is not compatible anymore. Wouldn't recommend

### 2/5 — It’s ok

*2019-10-23*

Very spotty. Have tried everything to get it to go to higher levels. It’s very inconsistent. Would really like better instructions. Could be a lot of fun.

### 3/5 — A little overpriced

*2011-10-31*

One of the best geiger counter apps I have found on the app store, looks very convincing and would fool the not so scientific people you would use this on. I can't help but feel though that £1.49 is a little overpriced for what your getting, £0.69 and I would have been quite happy. I've seen many free apps with features that are very similar to what this app uses, such as with the gyroscope. I would give a higher rating if the price had been a step lower.

### 5/5 — It's the best on on the App Store

*2024-08-11*

Good for a prank but doesn't get to that high of CPM

Please update it and make differnet beep noises.

### 5/5 — 100% does work and is fun

*2022-11-26*

Exactly what it says it is - easy to fool people - u control it by tilting and shifting your thumb over the radiation symbol - the flashlight flickering with measurement is a cool feature

### 5/5 — It works.

*2021-05-23*

He just didn’t put the instructions on the top of the description.

### 5/5 — 11/10

*2020-09-23*

Если бы не данный счётчик, запланированная поездка в Чернобыль была бы под угрозой. Забыл свой полноценный счётчик Гейгера дома. Благо есть данное приложение. Но почему-то когда ходил по проверенным дорогам, показывало что там есть радиация(Похоже мой основной счётчик сломался). Спасибо разработчику

### 5/5 — CUSTOMERS- NOT REAL APP

*2020-07-21*

This is not a real Geiger counter and dose not measure real radiation. If you want a real radiation detector then you will need to look on EBay or Amazon. In order for a device to measure radiation particles it NEEDS a geiger tube.  This is simply a app that lets you mess around and play jokes on people.

### 5/5 — アップデートのお願い

*2017-10-30*

しばらくアップデートが無いのでそろそろアプリのアップデートをお願いします

### 5/5 — Geiger counter

*2014-05-21*

Works pretty well. I like it.

### 5/5 — Rad u

*2011-08-18*

I always suspected that those condo owners meetings were radioactive - especially when the treasurer goes on and on about parking issues. Now I can prove to everyone that they are indeed radioactive. And i can refuse to give rides to deadbeats at work if the geiger counter detects radiation on their shoes. This is a rad unit.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2011-06-12*

Can't wait to try this in different parts of the world to "prove" that some places have more natural radiation than an exploded power plant!
Great use of the iPhone XY axes.
